Two In One

 

What nightmare for a judge who has a sincere and honest approach to the obligations of his job: Sometime in the seventeenth century the Italian Lazarus Colloredo (presumably 1617-1646) who made a living as a "sideshow freak", came to brawls with one of the men who teased him with the very bodily condition that gave him his living. Although he was known as a mild, gentle and also (in some ways) quite handsome man who did not engage in brawls or crimes this time he snapped: His respons was to kill the teaser. The judge had no doubt that the killer should be executed for his actions, but - as the condemned killer, Lazarus, pointed out to him - that would also lead to the death of an innocent man, namely his conjoined twin, Johannes. Strangely to say, but although this twin didn't have a life of his own, he obviously was alive:

As detailed in the 19th-century book, "Kirby’s Wonderful and Eccentric Museum" Danish anatomist, Thomas Bartholinus, described Lazarus and his brother thoroughly: "I saw Lazarus Colloredo, the Genoese, first at Copenhagen, after at Basil, when he was twenty-eight years of age, but in both places with amazement. This Lazarus had a little brother growing out at his breast, who was in that posture born with him. If I mistake not, the bone, called xyphoides, in both of them grew together; his left foot along hung downwards; he had two arms but only three fingers upon each hand: some appearance there was of the secret parts: he moved his hands ears and lips.

This little brother voids no excrements but by the mouth, nose, and ears, and is nourished by that which the greater takes: he has distinct animal and vital parts from the greater, since he sleeps, sweats, and moves when the other wakes, rests and sweats not. Both received their names at the font; the greater that of Lazarus, and the other that of Johannes Baptista. The natural bowels, as the liver, spleen, &c. are the same in both. Johannes Baptista hath his eyes for the most part shut: his breath small, so that holding a feather at his mouth it scarcely moves, but holding the hand there we find a small and warm breath. His mouth is usually open, and wet with spittle; his head is bigger than that of Lazarus, but deformed; his hair hanging down while his face is in an upright posture. Both have beards; that of Baptista is neglected, but that of Lazarus very neat. Lazarus is of a just stature, a decent body, courteous deportment, and gallantly attired: he covers the body of his brother with his cloak, nor would you think a monster lay within at your first discourse with him. .... " 

That's not much of a life, but still, Johannes WAS alive, and he was innocent of the crime of his brother which meant that the judge in the case had to drop the Death Sentence he had passed on Lazarus. It was told that, courteous and handsome (in some respects!), as he was, the otherwise condemned killer married and had several children. The last time the brothers were heard of was circa 1646, and it's supposed that they passed the way Lazarus had feared all his life: ".... he feared the death of his brother, presaging that when it came to pass, he should also expire with the stench and putrefaction of his body; and therefore he took greater care of his brother than himself."

Hitler's Love, His Niece Geli Raubal

 

Angela Maria "Geli" Raubal (1908–1931) was the daughter of Adolf Hitler's half-sister, Angela Raubal, thus being his half-niece. Born in Linz, Austria-Hungary, she  lived in close contact with her uncle from 1925 until her death, presumably by suicide, in 1931. When Geli was a toddler of two her father died at the early age of 31. After some time her widowed mother, Angela Raubal, became the housekeeper of her half-brother, Adolf Hitler, and she brought her 3 young children with her: Geli, Elfriede Hochegger and Leo Raubal. 

 

 

Hitler with his two half-nieces, Geli and Elfriede

 

At that time Geli, a pretty and charming, young girl of 17, enrolled in medicine, while living in her uncle's apartment in Munich. However, she never completed her education as a physician, and one gets the impression that the next six years of her life was spent in some sort of emotional and fysical captivity. There are many theories and rumours about her relationship with her uncle who was 19 years her senior and a very powerful man. He was extremely possessive of his half-niece and was known to domineer and suppress her, showing a fierce jealousy of the men who admired her. When he found out that she had a relationship with his chauffeur he dismissed the young man. After putting an end to their affair he prevented her from forming new relationships with other men, and he saw to it that she was close to him or someone he trusted at all times. 

 

After the war her mother said that Geli had hopes of marrying a man from Linz, but that Hitler had forbidden her to see him. After leaving her medicine studies she also wanted to go to Vienna to start singing lessons, but that too was forbidden by her uncle. These plans - or dreams - of hers was something she and Hitler had argued about before he departed for a meeting in Nuremberg on 18th September, 1931 while she stayed in Munich. While he was away the young woman of 23 years died from a gunshot wound to her chest. It appeared that she had shot herself with his Walther pistol, but her untimely death gave rise to many rumours and insinuations.

 

The media broadcasted many unpleasant rumours, including allegations of physical and sexual abuse, a tempestuous love affair or an infatuation of the young woman for her uncle. Also there were rumours of murder as she obviously had been unfaithful to him when she saw other men. Some of the more saucy stories were broadcasted by one of Hitler's political opponents, Otto Strasser. The obvious possesiveness of Hitler towards Geli indicates that he had very strong feelings of a sexual nature for his half-niece, and it seems she had told several of her friends that she was disgusted by "something perverted he had asked/demanded her to do".

 

Geli and her mother

 

As to the cause of her death the investigations by the police not surprisingly ruled out foul play and it was deemed suicide, not murder. No matter what the cause of death of Geli was it sent her uncle into a deep depression and he decided not to attend her funeral in Vienna, but later on he visited her grave several times. He is reputed to have declared her to have been the love of his life. Her room was kept as it was and he was said to worship his portraits of her and always kept them close by.

Flirt Or Not?

 

1) Guy to the left: Oh, my God, those EYES!!!!! Even the tawny shades are WOW!!!! Definitely flirting material .....

2) Guy to the right: OK, OK, he too has a sort of tawny-shadowed eyes, but he is NOT flirting-material!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One is acceptable and the other is not, WHY? Simply because No. 1 is sexy and No. 2 isn't. In a way it's crazy, but then not 100%, as one's respons to a flirt always should be an integral part part of one's own sexual drive. Purple - or Trumpishly ORANGE - faced and rather plump guys simply don't have what it takes. If he tries anything without being invited (so to speak) it is considered harassment, and it's unfair, but still within what's to be expected with women who go by their natural instincts .....

The Short-Dicked Porn Star

 

Porn-star Ron Jeremy - "The Hedgehog"

Is Ronald Jeremy Hyatt (1953) a criminal for repeating in his private life what was his career for many years? What he was paid for - and gained fame for doing - was pornography. His nickname was "The Hedgehog" which goes well with his short build. He is no Adonis, but as he was ranked by AVN at No. 1 in their "50 Top Porn Stars of All Time" list he surely performed satisfactorily within his chosen field. It's note worthy that he is reputed to have made more than 1700 porn flicks, which I suppose only was possible because he didn't have the same erectile problems as his super famous and highly admired, but not as prolific, colleague, John Holmes.

John Curtis Holmes (1944-1988)

This porn actor had a big male fan base because of his exceptionally large penis - or rather the rumours of this male member as its measures were not verified except for what was obvious from his movies. He was also known as John C. Holmes or Johnny Wadd after his lead character in a series of related films). His movie count was 573 films and maybe some more, but he had problems that didn't occur in the career of Ron Jeremy: His very big and long penis had a bad habit of "folding" without the stamina that is necessary in a male porn star. In 1988 he became a suspect in the so-called "Wonderland murders", but he was never arrested. As many others in the porn industry he contracted AIDS which killed him in March 1988. It's interesting that he became the subject of several books and also the inspiration for two movies: "Boogie Nights" and "Wonderland". 

Ron Jeremy wasn't met with murder charges like John Holmes, but he didn't escape the law scott free as he has been charged with an ability that used to pay his rent, so to speak: Sex in the form of MeToo offences. According to rumours - and his attorney - he has become demented. That may - or may not - be true, but it's obvious that what used to be his job has turned into a grave problem in his private life.

As far as I know he never had the masses of male fans as John Holmes and his long penis. Actually, his male member was known for being a short, but thick and efficient tool. That means that he didn't come out as impressive as John Holmes. On the other hand, his achievements were indisputable. The short-dicked porn star could perform and do what he was paid to do. If he really is demented it must be confusing for him that he is being accused of more and more MeToo-crimes. Does this happen because he - like many ordinary men - has no inner sense of the meaning of women's "no" and "yes"??? Is he stupid or does he think more of himself as the "star" of 1700 porn flicks than that achievement/job justifies? One thing is for sure, he really looks like a sick, and more or less deranged man as he is being wheeled into the court room ....

I think that pornography gives a false image of sex and the relations between men and woman. Also I remember what some serial killers like e.g. Ted Bundy said about how they were formed by porn. That makes me suspicious of pornography as such. We simply don't seem to have the knowledge that makes us know the limits of this special "dream world" ....

Did Hitler Marry A Jew???

 

Eva Braun (1912-1945) - aka Mrs. Adolf Hitler - met the 23 years older Hitler as a young girl of 17 and became his mistress a few years later. She had been working as a saleswoman in the shop of Heinrich Hoffman, who was Hitler’s photographer and one of the people who taught him the art of body language.

As Eva for unknown reasons fell madly in love with Der Führer she moved in with him in 1936. Even though she lived with him she wasn't to reveal their close relationship. Life in the Hitler-chalet Berghof in Berchtesgaden wasn't always easy as she aften felt lonely, actually, just as his former (and mysterious) lover, his half-niece, Geli, who ended up killing herself - or being murdered (???) - with his gun. 
 

Hitler and Geli who is considered to have been both his niece and his lover

Before moving in with Hitler Eva's family was investigated to make sure that there were no Jews in her lineage. However, many years after being aquitted af this "Nazi crime" BBC found some evidence that she might indeed have been of Jewish descent. That would have been a shock to the crazed Führer, but neither he nor Eva found this out so they got on with their lives until the fateful day of April 30, 1945, where they committed suicide together after getting married.

What BBC did was to test some of Eva's hair from a hairbrush. When she died DNA wasn't an issue, but now it's more or less a common part of investigating the identity or lineage of people, living or deceased. Forensic scientists analysed the mitochondrial DNA from Eva's monogrammed hairbrush and they found interesting stuff about its owner, the lover and future bride of the man who murdered 6,000,000 Jews whom he saw as unworthy of living. 

These scientists found a specific sequence within the mitochondrial DNA which is passed down the maternal line from mother to daughter unchanged over the generations. It belongs to the so-called haplogroup N1b1 of the Ashkenazi Jews. According to their findings Hitler's loving and faithful lover and wife was of Jewish descent which might have sent her to a KZ-camp had he found out. There is a deep, deep irony in this, but in my opinion it's not enough to turn his racial madness into a comedy. When I learnt about it I felt like laughing, but then I saw the lines of ordinary and innocent people being shoved into the camps of death for my inner eye: The meaningless torture and horrible death of these unfortunates stand apart when it comes to human cruelty.

Dagens mand

Der er efterhånden en del kvinder, der så småt er begyndt at få ondt af mænd, fordi de føler, at de er fanget i en form for "mellemperiode". Det er kvinder også, men på en anden måde, da vi gør landvindinger på de områder, hvor mænd føler, at de mister terræn. Til det er der ikke andet at sige, at hvis mændene taber rettigheder, de har tildelt sig selv op igennem århundrederne, så skyldes dette, at de nu må lette bagen fra sæder, der aldrig har været tiltænkt dem som eneejere. At de føler sig berettigede til at indtage disse sæder, som de mener at have arvet på på lovlig vis fra deres fædre, bedstefædre, osv., viser mangel på dømmekraft.

Er det sådan, de tænker? Noget kunne tyde på det, men jeg tror nu ikke, det står helt så slemt til - heldigvis ....

Nok er jeg dyreven, meeeeen ..... Det næste bliver vel, at hun skal løbe ved siden af bilen med manden og hans forkælede hunde, og ærlig talt, den går bare ikke ....

 

 

Breeding Without A Male

 

The most famous "Virgin Birth" ever has had a tremendous impact on history and the religious beliefs for centuries. Of course, that was the birth of Jesus by the so-called "Virgin" Mary. If that really happened it truly was a miracle. Some unbelievers will say that Mary pulled off a scam, blaming "The Holy Spirit" for getting her pregnant. Others focus on the implications of Yahwe as a sexual god, impregnating a human and that's a subject that might lead to many more questions that will have wild guesses for "answers". As to Mary being a virgin that may only mean that she was unmarried as the meaning of this special term changed over time.

What I find the most interesting part of a so-called "Virgin Birth" is that what up till now seemed an impossible achievement has proved not to be unachievable. It has been known often to happen in small, spineless animals like e.g. sea stars and stick insects, although not as common in vertebrates. However, a process called "parthenogenesis" which leads to "virgin births", i.e. birth without a male, now has been observed in rays, sharks and skates. They may fertilize their own eggs without any male semen, thus using their own genetic material. More "virginal" that that it can never be!

Skate

Parthenogenesis is most often used by, e.g., sharks when there are no males to mate with, but recent studies at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago has made it clear that females may chose not to breed with males even though these are healthy and in any ways appropriate partners. These females were simply not receptive to males at any time. Some snakes and lizards are the same, but I was surprised to learn that also Chickens and turkeys can use parthenogenesis to fertilize their eggs. Actually, many more animal breeds than has been known up to now have this ability which leads to the big question: WHAT ABOUT HUMANS, CAN WE TOO BREED WITHOUT MEN??????

There is a process that must be fulfilled, and that's almost impossible or dangerous to the mother: Is it possible for a virgin to give birth?: "Once fertilization—or faux fertilization—occurs, an egg can complete the final stage of a cell division known as meiosis II, during which it loses half of its genetic material to make room for the sperm’s DNA. But if there’s no sperm, each half of the divided egg cell will end up short, and both will die. In order for our virgin birth to proceed, the faux-fertilized egg must, therefore, not complete meiosis. Both of these events—the calcium spike and the division mistake—could occur as the result of random dysfunctions or genetic defects. Assuming they do, the egg cell may then begin the process of “parthenogenesis,” or virginal development. When this happens to an egg-precursor cell, it can give rise to a tumor made up of many different types of tissue—liver, teeth, eye, and hair, for example."

The mother who has endured pregnancy and a birth may want ONE baby at the time, but society which has a need of building and rebuilding the work force that "keeps the wheels going" may want more babies. Maybe they change or blot out some of the rights women have fought for - and obtained - in hope of getting more citizens that will secure "the system". However, for those women who take care of themselves, the biological slavery of former times has ended, and some may even dream of having fatherless babies, thus endangering the family structure that is at the base of patriarchy ....
